Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1.5 cups crushed chocolate cookies Substitute with graham crackers for a classic flavor.
  • 0.5 cups melted butter No substitutions recommended.
For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 24 oz cream cheese Use full-fat brick-style for best results.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Brown sugar can deepen the flavor.
  • 8 oz melted dark chocolate Opt for 60%-72% cocoa for the best balance.
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract No alternatives suggested.
  • 3 large eggs Beat minimally to prevent cracks.
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries Frozen raspberries can be used but may alter texture.

Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula
  • Baking sheet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed chocolate cookies and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
  3. Beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Fold in melted dark chocolate and vanilla extract.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed. Fold in fresh raspberries for a marbled effect.
  5. Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust and smooth the top. Tap the pan lightly to release air bubbles.
  6. Bake for approximately 60 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
  7. Turn off the oven and crack the door open to cool for about 1 hour. Then transfer to the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  8. Remove from the springform pan, slice, and serve garnished with extra raspberries or melted chocolate.
